Have Your Social Media Stand out Using These Five Photo/Video Apps
Nowadays, you have to up your game on Instagram. Beautiful, eye-catching photos and videos are constantly taking up the space on your newsfeed, and who doesn’t like it when their profile grid is spectacularly on point? The little squares that showcase what you like and who you love should be high-quality – no one wants to see a bunch of blurry, grainy pictures that are unappealing to the eye. Luckily, there are hundreds of photo and video apps available online, and here are Rsquare Media’s top five to choose from.
First up on the list is Snapseed, a beautiful and simple all-purpose photo editor for image enhancements. This app does it all – it gives the user a variety of 
options to work with concerning lighting, sharpening and of course cropping and rotating. Not only does it come with a huge variety of filters, it also allows users to make selective adjustments. This allows you to brighten up that shadowy face in the back of the photograph, or to contrast Becky’s glowing face against the similar background. This app is available on the App Store.
Another app that really shines through with its efficiency is VSCO. This ap
p is all-in-one: you can edit and enhance images just like every other app, as well as use elegant filters specially designed for VSCO users. The filters are subtle and add a very beautiful touch to the photographs. VSCO also serves as an online photo sharing platform – VSCO users can share photographs using the app with other fellow photographers and designers. They may also choose to publish the photos directly onto Instagram, Facebook or Snapchat. This app is available on the App Store and Google Play, as well as PC platforms.
Another great app is called Camera+: the app has many photo editing tools to update your photo editing skills. Along with the usual features, Camera+ also
has a Stabilizer shooting mode to help you take sharp photos. A special part of the app called Clarity is designed to make adjustments to improve upon photos. Want to capture that beautiful fire on the night of the annual barbeque? Just turn to this app and you’ll have it under control. This app is available on the App Store and Google Play.
An app that really caught my eye was iMovie. I had used the software on MAC desktops before, however the phone version of Apple’s iMovie was very easy
to use and apply. Its interface was very similar to that of MAC desktop versions, and it made it incredibly easy to cut and edit videos in any way I wished. Not only can you use the tools to shorten or lengthen the videos, you can add text, music, transitions and voiceovers – all on your phone! This app is available on the App Store.
Last on our list, PowerDirector, a great video editing software, is available to be used on your phone. The app resembles iOs’ famous iMovie app, and displays a user-friendly but powerful editing tool that can be used to edit, cut, lengthen or change any video on your phone. You are also able to add a title and set of features such as filters and transitions. What I also liked about this app is that the initial cost is simply $3.88, and this helps you remove the watermark that is present on all free videos created by the app. This app is available on Google Play.
As you can see, these are only FIVE of the hundreds of great apps out there, designed to keep your media completely error-free and appealing.

Work Smarter, Not Harder – Five Great Productivity Apps to Use Today
We’ve all been there – struggling to make it through a homework assignment, counting down the minutes until the end of the work day, or finding several tasks to complain about all the time. We cross one item off the list and can immediately find three more tasks to replace it. Having a huge list of pending work can definitely pull you down and make you not want to even start. However, there are now tons of new apps and programs available that can greatly help you in getting your work done, efficiently and successfully.
First up on the list is Tide, a beautiful and simple app that combines the time management method called Pomodoro, along with various samples of white noise or sounds.
Personally, using this app makes me feel very relaxed as well as competent. The Pomodoro technique is actually one used by many apps of this kind, as it was first developed in the 1980s. It basically shows one how to work in blocks of time, first spending 25 minutes immersed in your task, followed by a 5 minute break. This app is available on the App Store and Google Play.
Another app that really shines through with its efficiency is Evernote. This app is all-in-one: you can create tons of separate notebooks, keeping track of any and everything you wish.
Since I love making lists and getting my thoughts down, this app really helped me with organizing lists in different places. You can take photos of things you want to remember or buy, and add those to your digital notebooks as well. This app is available on the App Store and Google Play, as well as PC platforms.
A great app for college students is called Forest: I used this in college and it really made me aware of how important it is to stay focused and work smarter,
not harder. This is a very useful app: you get work done and also support a great cause. Here’s how it works: you use a timer to work in blocks of time,
similar to Tide. However, as you’re working, you are growing virtual trees in a digital forest on the app. You grow more trees the longer that you work, and the coins that you earn are actually used to plant real trees, as Forest partners with the nonprofit Trees for the Future. How amazing! This app is available on the App Store and Google Play.
An app that really caught my eye was Simple Habit Tracker, a way totrack your habits. Sounds strange, right? It’s interesting to see how our habits are formed, psychologically or subconsciously.
We all pick up “bad habits”, and these repetitive actions can be very destructive over the long run. This app helps you to realize what those bad habits are, and to change them. You can also record the good habits you have, to keep track of how long you accomplish them. This app is available on the App Store.
Last on our list, Trello is a productivity app that allows you to create multiple to-do lists. You can see what different projects you have to finish, and you can quickly prioritize what you need to do first versus last. Trello also allows you to 
schedule tasks to others who use the same app, making it easy for you to work with friends or colleagues. This app is available on the App Store and Google Play.
